Houmt Souk is the capital and largest town of Djerba Island, meaning 'The Market Neighbourhood'. Its labyrinthine traditional souk features narrow alleyways filled with authentic Tunisian craftsmanship - ceramics, textiles, leather goods, and spices. The fish market is famous for its lively auction-style atmosphere where fishermen enthusiastically call out prices.
Early morning to avoid heat and crowds. The fish market is most active in the early morning. Spring (March-May) or fall (September-November) for best weather.
